Cherished Beneath His Skirt: The Princess Seduces Him, Then Gets Claimed Against Her Will

[A cool and fierce young princess in public, but timid and clingy at home X A young prince whose heart has been wounded and who no longer wants to love] In her previous life, Cheng Jingyu was betrayed by the crown prince and her half-sister. They wiped out her father and brothers, severed her hands and feet, and left her to die in agony. Reborn before her wedding, she swears to kill her enemies with her own hands and send them straight to hell. With a treacherous road ahead, she sets her sights on a hostage prince from an enemy state who gasps for breath after every few steps. He has no power or influence and is plagued by illness, yet he was the biggest winner in her previous life. But he wants neither money nor power, and he loathes Cheng Jingyu to the utmost. To achieve her goal, Cheng Jingyu swallows her pride and tries to seduce him, her clothes half undone. “Your Highness, will you marry me?” Some time later, the capital is rocked by upheaval. The crown prince falls from power and is imprisoned, while her half-sister’s reputation is ruined and she dies. Meanwhile, the charming, alluring young princess sometimes stays out all night. Faint marks appear on her body, and she grows ever more bewitching. As rumors and suspicions swirl, the sickly, powerless hostage prince, usually so solemn, pins her beneath him. Breathless, she keeps begging, “Your Highness, I can’t take any more.” His broad hand glides over her slender waist. The hostage prince’s voice is low. “Good girl, begging won’t help.”
